Unable to install shibboleth.x86_64 on AWS EC2 instance

[Cantor, Scott]

"EC2" is not an operating system so that doesn't say anything all that specific. 

If it's a supported platform, you'd use the existing packages produced by the project. If it's not, you're basically on your own debugging the build.

By the look of it, there's a bug in whatever that OS does to Apache's supporting scripts or in the autoconf script's detection of them, so some kind of autoconf workaround would be required and have to be baked into the specfile via a patch.

Building from source is the easier way to debug whatever is going wrong via config.log but I think RPM builds produce the same log somewhere.

Best case the problem is that you're on an outdated version  that had a bug that's already fixed so trying the supported SP version would be an obvious thing to try. 3.2 is long out of support.
